The recitation of Al Ha-Nissim during Hanukkah represents one of the liturgical hallmarks of the holiday. In this session, we will look backwards and forwards at this famous prayer. In the first half of the program, our colleague Elie Kaunfer will present on the historical and liturgical development of Al Ha-Nissim; in the second half of the program, our colleague Hillary Chorny will teach about contemporary approaches to the prayer. You’ll walk away with a new appreciation for Al Ha-Nissim, as well as thoughts as to how to utilize it in ways that speak to our current moment.
